#like i dont understand this gatekeeping

[rondinella]

girl i dont know why i am seeing so many posts of ppl being angry about sylus being a new love interest or about rafayel being written one way or another (which confuses me endlessly bc he is a character. i am literally reading everything i can find about him like a woman obsessed and i have seen this pixel man become everything on ao3; sub, switch, dom, even vampire and i am having the time of my life. also quick reminder that writers in fandoms give you content for free. for free. there are literally ppl writing things that are perfection on earth and they are doing it for free. for free and for your entertainmet what a time to be alive.)

I have seen posts of ppl being scared about interacting or writing about rafayel bc of the fandom and i have to say that as a rafayel girlie i want as many ppl as possible to write about him and to have as many povs of him as possible. like literally gatekeeping a character is killing the character, bc no one wants to write about a characters if they have to be afraid of the reaction of others, and again, it doesnt make sense: you will get less fics, less drawings and less everything. youre shooting yourself in the foot.

Also the only problem with this game is the lack of a age limit and i will stand on this hill till the end of days.

and about sylus: girl. g i r l. first and foremost, kudos to the devs for making these pixel men more complex as the game goes on, bc ive seen this man chained, unchained, reading books with glasses in bed like a grandpa and making a salad like a domestic husband all in one week and hes not even in the game yet, so putting him in a box might be a bit against the character himself. also, this loyalty thing makes no sense. ive jumped from zayne to raf and i am probably going to jump again a lil (even if i find raf's character and his duality extremely captivating for some reason).

but again, pls dont gatekeep. ive been in fandoms for years and from my been there done that perspective, nothing harms a fandom more than that, bc it makes ppl pick a side and have arguments and that's a mess.

pls let ppl have fun and enjoy things pls pls pls

Tired of lesbians/queer folk that don't include he/him lesbians/bi lesbians/gaybians/any other form in their space 😔 they are missing out on some quality content over some ridiculous internalized queer relation ideas

I decided to go ahead and follow the residents of Ptolemaea link and I just.

My mind has been opened to Ethel Cain and I don't think I can ever go back. Thank you so much for showing me her work!

found the opposite end of the “that headcanon is so wildly out of character and incorrect idk HOW you got there” spectrum, which is “so thats actually just canon. that happens in the story verbatim, but because you have not consumed the source material for some reason you think this counts as a headcanon??”

"You're not a REAL bug lover if you dont love wasps and ticks and mosquitos-" bug lovers of all people should know the detriment some of these creatures can bring. Or be able to be understanding and considerate of other fears, phobias, and illness.

Like no I don't HATE these creatures, they're essential parts of the environment but I have a wasp phobia bad enough that it extends to bees, mud dobbers, bumblebees, and any other sort of creature that stings/resembles one with a stinger. I just played merry-go-rounds with a mud dobber in my house because I can't just. Ignore it. I logically understand that they are nonhostile but they fly, they sting, they look like a wasp and they do NOT belong in my house!! I can appriciate them behind glass- all of them- and see that they are just cute little creatures trying to live their lives. But that doesn't mean that WASPS aren't little buttheads!!

Ticks? Yes they are important. At the same time? I'm chronically ill. I've seen the damage that a tick bite can do to a person. And just generally, it can turn someone from a perfectly healthy individual to someone who can barely stand to dress themselves. Lyme disease is very real and can rip apart a person's life. And that is without mentioning how Alpha-Gal syndrome can effect a person. Which from what I understand is a lesser known potential result of a tick bite. Tell me- do you want to be allergic to red meat? Not just red meat, but dairy too. Do you want to be allergic to any food with mammalian-based ingredients? Didn't think so! They're literally EVERYWHERE, they're hard to avoid and if it were me- that's even more dietary restrictions on top of those that I already have! (Not everyone with Alpha-gal syndrome eat the same way, the intensity can vary from person to person but they ALL have allergic reactions to alpha-gal as a result, often, of a tick bite)

So yeah I don't like wasps or ticks or mosquitos and a lot of people don't but there are completely perfectly valid and understandable reasons for not liking them. Their existence can cause harm to a lot of people!! They can spread diseases and cause anaphylactic allergic reactions. Like I know we all know this but the whole shtick of "You're not a bug lover if you don't appriciate these guys" is so dumb. Like. No I don't appriciate them. I understand the role they play in the environment and understand their importance and they are fine if they actually stay in their place. Im not going to go out of my way to kill them if they're not in my space. They are cool to look at sometimes and they need proper studying and they are essential but I do not have to like them it's some of the dumbest gatekeeping over a community ever jhaednaj like yes you're allowed to like them that's fine!!! But posts talking about "oh you're fake if you don't" I am not being mean to you about liking creatures that have direct negative impact on the life of myself and people I care about. Why are you being rude about me not enjoying them. They are unpopular for a reason. Those reasons make SENSE.

OKAY. LITEN. HERE ME OUT.

I think I figured out how to effectively explain Chronic Anxiety to someone who has never experienced it.

SO YOU KNOW THE MEME ABOUT THE FIELD WHERE YOU GROW YOU FUCKS?

"look upon the field on which in gow my fucks and see that it is barren"

When you have Chronic Anxiety it's like, the field isn't for your fucks, the fucks are a weed spreading with a voracity of mint to kudzu. You cannot help but give every one of these fucks. It is not optional and they will not stop regrowing and spreading. There is such a terrible overabundance of fucks to give and they are just mixing in with every possible flower bed. And now they are taking over this little patch about the cashier at the grocer and I cannot help that there are fucks being given a out what they think about the color of my shirt. I keep trying to get rid of them, but they keep growing back.

i had a thought about blocking some people from sideblogs for non-pjsk stuff and then went “eh its not like they’re into that stuff i doubt they’ll even find it” and then the thought of them getting into the other stuff i like crossed my mind and i have never understood gatekeeping more than i do now
